    Who Will Start

    Two years ago we traded up to get McCargo in the first round. It seems as though he has developed into a big bust....I think the franchise know it, hence Spencer is added, and also Stroud is picked up. Its going on McCargo's 3rd year, its time to show and prove or step aside.

    McCargo is listed as a backup for now..

        Don't linemen usually get until their third year for their verdicts?

          D-Lineman might be the hardest position to adjust to from college to pro. Usually takes a few extra years than other positions excluding WR. With that said, this is the year we find out if McCargo is a keeper or another first round dud to add to the collection.

              I don't think it'll matter who starts. They'll both play alot.

                It is honestly hard for me to know how good Spencer is, but I think McCargo is about to be pretty good. My bet is on McCargo.

                  they signed spencer johnson because he is a younger better player than larry tripplett.

                  McCargo has certainly showed flashes of being a dominant defensive tackle in very limited action (examples being great plays in the baltimore and giants game)
                  The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

                    There were stretches last year where McCargo was an absolute BEAST.

                    He's going to be a stud this year. Bet on it.

                      I don't know how anyone can call McCargo a bust after two seasons. He played pretty well last year and I would expect him to improve even more this year.

                      Also if you ask Mario Williams how why he was so successful at NC State, he will mention McCargo in the middle. Sorry I don't have a link to that but I heard it more than once in his interviews.

                        As a few of us have noticed, McCargo is now injury free and playing pretty damned well. Put him beside someone other than Larry Triplett, Jason Jefferson or Tim Anderson, and he'll be even better.

                        But Johnson is supposed to be a high effort guy, so I think a rotation of Stroud, McCargo, Johnson and Williams is going to be really good.
                        Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                          to add my two cents in, even though this has already been stated, McCargo is poised for a big year, he absolutely blew up some plays in the backfield last year, which cant really be said for anyone else on the D-line. I'm excited to see how he plays this year.

                              I don't think you can label McCargo as a bust at this point... a reach perhaps, but not a bust. As others mentioned, he's showed some flashes of brilliance, and hopefully if he can stay healthy, he can be a big contributer. Regardless of who starts, I'm sure it's going to be a steady rotation at any rate.
